Air Quality Alert issued June 21 at 10:29AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Non-Weather Emergency Message. Not sent to IPAWS.

Effective: Sat June 21, 2025, 10:29 AM
Expires: Mon June 23, 2025, 12:00 AM

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) has declared an Air Quality Advisory for Sunday June 22, for elevated levels of ozone. Pollutants are expected to be in the unhealthy range for sensitive groups. The advisory is in effect for the following Michigan Counties, Charlevoix, Antrim, Manistee, Leelanau, Emmet, Grand Traverse, and Benzie. We are in the peak of ozone season, and the current forecast shows ozone-conducive conditions for Sunday. Surface temperatures in the 90s, coupled with ample sunlight and southwest winds, create an environment favorable for ozone development along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with respiratory diseases such as asthma. People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which lead to ozone formation. These activities include, refueling vehicles or topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment, and using charcoal lighter fluid. Positive activities include, driving less, telecommuting, walking or biking, delaying or combining errands and using water-based paints. For further information, please see EPA's Air Now site for up-to- date air quality data at https://www.airnow.gov.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
